    I'm too afraid to weigh myself yet... haha I'm actually planning on NOT weighing myself and getting back to all my usual eating and exercising and hope in a week or two when I finally gain the courage to weigh myself again, I won't even know how much I gained!

    Strange method? Maybe. But it makes me feel a bit better.

    On a side note, I am SO HAPPY to have this thread to read after I just ate WAY too many Christmas cookies and was feeling really guilty about falling short of my usual ultra-healthy eating habits. You all are right, I am healthy and active and a few pounds over the holidays isn't going to destroy all the hard work I've done over the last two years.

    :) Thanks everyone. And the cookies were freakin' DELICIOUS, by the way.

    My weigh-in is tomorrow afternoon, I snuck an unofficial one just now and I gained a couple pounds, I normally eat light Sunday meals so I hope to maintain my previous weight.

    Here is what I was tempted by (I was assigned to bring homemade Chili and confections to the family dinner)...

    I made Peanut Butter Balls, think a large jar of Creamy PB, 3/4 of a bag of powered sugar and semi-sweet or dark chocolate, heaven might taste like these and I bloody made about 60 and ate two or three, normally, I eat 10 or more. I used the Recipe builder here and they came out to be only about 166 calories each.

    I made Take 5's, again, maybe one or two were eaten. 228 calories each. I made bird's nests with Chow Mein Noodles and chocolate, ate one maybe, about 211 calories. I made Chili (279 C), Spaghetti Sauce (247 C), Salsa (73 C), Vegetable Soup , Chicken Cashew Casserole (366 C) , yeah, I was off work and busy cooking.

    And, with any luck and immense control, I may break even, I will post tomorrow afternoon!

    I gained 3 =( I may have to wait until summer to lose it (and more) since I am 10 weeks pregnant. I really wanted to put off weight gain as long as possible, but it is what it is I guess.

    I went down 3 lbs from where I was (but that was up about a lb or so). The thing is, I've stayed down each day since! That's unusual. I didn't go over maintenance by much, but I'm doing better on the scale than usual, lol. Weird. Eggnog is magic :D

    Lost 4 pounds o.O

    I probably barely overate on christmas, didn't log, and kept to my normal workouts.

    Oh ya! I was off for a few days, and weighed myself two days ago and was up nearly six pounds! As of this morning, I'm only a pound away from being where I was before the holidays. Phew! I just went back to plan yesterday with lots of water, low sodium, and a thirty minute work out.

    Weighed myself this morning and I'm 2kg up :sad:
    I'm not panicking (yet), I really didn't overeat that much - isn't it about 3,500 calories for every pound of fat? So that would be over 15,000 excess calories? I have logged right through the holiday and I think I probably only ate an excess of about 6000 calories, so I hope it's just water and glycogen that will drop off once my routine gets back to normal............please?

    I've maintained. Which I guess I should be happy about, but it's the time after my period when I usually lose, which means I won't lose more for 3 weeks. My main worry is going back on track at this point though and go back to losing vs maintaining.

    I quite like this plan!! I'm due to weigh in on Saturday the 4th as my first weigh in after the holidays - don't think it's gonna be pretty!

    I'm up 12 lb from the last time I weighed - but I've been pretty well off the wagon (in fact, couldn't even SEE the wagon anymore) till yesterday, and the last time I weighed was in November sometime. With relatives visiting, Thanksgiving, birthdays, multiple Christmas celebrations… yeah. I have no one to blame but myself, and I'm not whining. I know what I did to me, and I'm back to undo it - and I have a year to teach myself NOT TO DO IT AGAIN.

    I weighed in and gained 3lb, or so I think, my scales aren't always correct. Gained back those 3lb I lost but I'll lose them again. And this was from Christmas day and boxing day.

    I put on two but -- TMI alert-- my period's due in a few days. I'm really hoping it melts off after that, especially since I've been pretty much plateau'd since Thanksgiving :-(.

    Same with me effing hate the water weight gain.
